This Masterclass – Colour Viscosity Printing for Etching at Morley College London Chelsea Centre takes place in our light and well-equipped studio with specialist facilities. You will learn to develop ideas and imagery into multicoloured prints using viscosity techniques. The varied colour combinations and blends are enormous and provide exciting expressive possibilities not achievable with any other intaglio technique.
You will work on two small images simultaneously learning to deep etch an image into zinc plates to achieve different levels in the surface. You will then learn to mix different viscosities of coloured inks, how to apply them to your image and print on to paper.
Etching experience is essential and you must be able to competently operate an etching press, and ink up and print a plate independently. You must be willing to be experimental with mark-making and materials.
The studio in the Carlyle building (Room CG05) on the ground floor at the Morley Chelsea Centre, Hortensia Road SW10 0QS is light, spacious and well-equipped with specialist facilities for etching. There are 2 Rochat presses bed size 26 x 56 inches.
The course fee includes all materials.
